Wawrinka’s emotional US Open finale ends in defeat to Berrettini
The pair produced another dramatic encounter in front of a packed Grandstand crowd after their rollercoaster Wimbledon clash.
Stan Wawrinka suffered a defeat to Italy's Matteo Berrettini in the first round of the US Open, marking his final Grand Slam tournament before retiring. The Swiss 41-year-old played his heart out in front of a packed crowd, but Berrettini, 30, managed to shut down the match. Wawrinka started strong, breaking Berrettini's serve to level the first set, but the Italian fought back to eventually win 7-6(4), 7-6(3), 6-0.
Wawrinka acknowledged the significance of the match, having returned to New York after being initially left out of the singles field and only being added after Patrick Kypson withdrew due to injury.
